Hormonesplayabigroleandareahugepartofwomen’shealth, includingphys-ically, mentally and emotionally. If the body produces too little or too muchof some certain hormones, then the hormonal imbalance occurs. According toTCM, two organs mainly connected to the hormonal imbalances are the Kid-ney and the Liver. The aim of the TCM treatment for hormonal imbalance isto balance the Yin and Yang energy in the organs and the body and restore theJing. In this research is presented a case of a 34 year old woman presented withreduced function of the thyroid gland and hormonal imbalance. Before startingthe treatment the results are showing increased levels of TSH (8.08 mIU/ml),LH (12.30 mIU/ml) and FSH (15.70 mIU/ml) and decreased levels of fT4 (9.78pmol/L). After the treatment the TSH (2.79 mIU/ml), fT4 (14.00 pmol/L) andLH (7.93 mIU/ml) were normalized and FSH (12.20 mIU/ml) was decreasedwith only 7 treatments within 7 weeks. Acupuncture points used in the treat-ment are: DU4 (MingMen), DU14 (DaZhui), DU20 (BaiHui), RN6 (QiHai), RN4(QuanYuan), BL15 (XinShu), BL20 (PiShu), GB20 (FengChi), ST9 (RenYing), LI4(HeGu), BL23 (ShenShu), LR2 (TaiChong), SP6 (SanYinJiao), ST36 (ZuSanLi),SP9 (YinLingQuan), KI3 (TaiXi) and Ashi points located on the neck (front andback). Acupuncture as part of the TCM can effectively help the patients strug-gling with hormonal imbalances to balance and regulate the hormones and har-monize the metabolism, nervous, reproductive and endocrine system
